Reviews
"Bill Cobb's The Bird Saviors is a stark modern-day Old Testament story in which the evil that men do is barely balanced by the good that a few manage to achieve. It's a gritty harrowing story set in a dust-blown Colorado town that seems filled with vivid characters. Cobb's expert story-telling compels us forward scene by scene to a final satisfying redemption." -Kent Haruf, author of Plainsong

"A novel told with an unexpected and appealing warmth; the characters in The Bird Saviors become increasingly memorable, page by page, and the story pulled me in without hullabaloo or fuss-- this is good, confident storytelling." --Aimee Bender

"Weaving a biblical motif with social, political, economic, and environmental undertones, he does a yeoman's job of bringing together complex themes in a touching and memorable tale that readers won't soon forget. It's Cobb's prose, in particular, that breathes life into this tumultuous terrain, his every sentence dulcet in the discordance. . .To say The Bird Saviors is "amazing" is also to shortchange Cobb. For his is a timeless story of love and redemption, a classic tale of good vs. evil, and a can't-miss page-turner that leaves readers wanting more." -Foreword Magazine
